The devastation of their home state has deeply affected the band members of Rush Of Fools, who live in the Birmingham area. They have quickly volunteered to roll up their sleeves and actually get to work to help rebuild the devastation of last week’s tornadoes.
Rush Of Fools has teamed with local Christian radio station, 93.7 WDJC to help publicize the major donation effort that will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, May 4th, 7:00 am CDT at three area churches. Many volunteers, including all band members of Rush Of Fools, will be receiving donated items that will be delivered to Bethel Baptist Church, 635 9th Way, Pleasant Grove, Alabama 35127. All donations will be handed out to the members of the community whose town was literally destroyed by the tornadoes on April 27th.
“In times of tragedies like we have experienced in the city of Birmingham, it is the call of God’s people to step up and be the hands and feet of Jesus for their communities,” says Kevin Huguley of Rush Of Fools. “As one of the Fools, I can say that we are honored as a band to be just a small part of seeing God rebuild our beautiful city.”
Here are the donation locations and all three locations will be accepting items for a 12-hour period from 7:00 am – 7:00 pm CDT.
